Help! I don't know what's going on
Recently my MacBook screen has been going black. Either in the middle of working or if I open the laptop too fast. If I close it almost all the way and then re-open it very slowly it will come back up bright (but I can't have it all the way open) and this could take up to 5 tries to find the right spot to stop. Other than that it works fine, it's just annoying as ****.
Any suggestions??
I'm not computer savy so keep it simple lol
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
If you are being asked to enter payment details when trying to download app updates then that doesn't mean that you will be charged for them (though if you do add a card you may get a small temporary store holding charge applied).

My steam won't launch ever since I updated to Yosemite I don't know what is going on.
Whenever I try to launch it, it says "Steam quit unexpectedly" I have tried redownloading it 5 times and have every software up to date. I also have tried
deleting all my steam files and it still doesn't work. Here is a screenshot:
I also downloaded a program called EtreCheck that checks for issues so here is what it found:

Also uninstall according to the developer's instructions.

My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.
- Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- Next, reset the iPod
To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
Then you can try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
What is restoring and why do i 'have' to restore to connect to iTunes and can I really get all my stuff back because I have a homework essay saved on my notepad and all my apps and music. Help I don't know what to do!

When copying pic from iPhoto 09 to a file, to burn a CD, after 35 photos it stops copying and I get "Unable to create/users/dividrublesr/ documents/I don't know what is going on. Forgive me for any mistakes, I am a first timer.
Given that the file is selected then the next possibility is that you're exporting two files with the same name. When you do this the export breaks down as the second file would overwrite the first. Check the filenames.

I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR. I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the WB as it is importing photos. I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB. Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB. Your advise is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you.
Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported? -

HT5624 I need help I don't know what to do.
Ok so I bought an iPhone from a friend and I want to reset it back to its factory mode but he doesn't know the password he used to protect it from being resetted. I need help I don't know what to do.
This friend needs to either log into the device to remove activation lock, remove the device from iCloud.com, or reset their Apple ID password to allow doing either of the previous two options.
There is simply no way to bypass activation lock. If this friend cannot or willnot work with you to remove the activation lock, return the device for a refund. The device is useless without the password to remove activation lock. -

I accidentally dropped my iPad but it didn't crack. It just went black and I tried turning it on and off and it works but it just stays black and I don't know what to do I desperately need help.
I could not believe it, but it worked. If you have this problem, Here's my word to you: Don't give up! I tried this "magical" fix three times last night. Nothing (...x3!). Then, today I put it upside down on my ottoman and hit the back quite hard. I have no idea how this works and - even a s a scientist - I don"t care! My iPad is up and running again. Go figure... but I am thrilled!!! Thank you, forum. I never would have thought of this on my own. And you just saved me several hundred $$$!

Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings

Don't know what's going on.
Okay. The other day my iPod froze so just I reset it. Then when I turned it on again the apple appeared and then after that a folder with an "!" appeared and this kept repeating but then eventually turned off.
So now I hooked my iPod up the computer to see if the songs would upload back on it, but it kept doing the apple and then folder thing. Every once in while the "do not disconnect" would show up but then it would just go back to the apple - folder thing. Every once in a while I saw a battery with an "!" which I'm guessing it means no battery even though the iPod is hooked up to the computer.
Does anybody know what the heck is going on or if I can fix it?
Also I'm guessing that me not being able to update my iPod is a contributing factor (because our freaking security thing wouldn't allow me to download updates). But now I think I figured out a way to update it but my iPod is freaking out.Make sure you have all updates installed, run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Otherwise if that does not help, and you are using the factory install of Tiger, I would recommend backing up your files & doing a custom reinstallation. -
I don't know what's going on!
I'm having some trouble playing some videos. It was playing just fine earlier today. Now when I try to play a video, I can only hear the sound but my screen turns green. What's going on?
right click on a video and go to settings (flash settings), disable hardware acceleration and see if that fixes it.

Unable to open Adobe Creative Cloud. Please Help! Don't know what I am doing.
I quit out of the CC icon on the Apple Toolbar and couldn't get it to reappear yesterday. Today it has appeared but it is 'inactive', ie. in grey. When I position my mouse to it, I get the 'spinning colour wheel of death'. To make things worse, I then couldn't get the app to open from Applications. I got the error:
I then tried to uninstall the app, and reinstall it from the site, and received this message:
I don't know where it's opened, and now I trashed the app to be able to reinstall the Creative Cloud app, but am receiving the same message.
Someone please help! It's driving me nuts!!Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.

Help! Don't know what has happened!
I haven't used my Ipod Touch (3rd Gen) in some time(trying to keep away from kids!!) and when I went to use it last night, I was playing a game app. and it started glitching and then froze. I thought since the battery was low that was the problem. Tonight I tried to charge it and I kept getting the Itunes pic, saying I needed to add it like when you first get the Ipod. When I went to my itunes it said the Ipod was in recovery mode and I would have to "recover" it. When I would do this, a couple times it would just turn off in the middle of it and tell me an error occurred. After a couple tries it finally restored and I put my music and such back on. But I have lost my other apps. What the real problem though is, it keeps telling me I have to do all this every time I plug it in, and the home button is not working. If I go to something, such as settings, I am stuck in it. I have to turn the Ipod off completely and start again.
I have restored it many times and it is the same thing each time. I restore and put everything back on (minus my apps) and still get stuck in something or it just turns off. What is going on?!Before you get it serviced, try some more things:
Connect in recovery mode and restore "as new ipod" without using your last backup to get your data and settings back after that. Maybe your backup contains corrupt data causing your problem.
Reset your ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again, ignoring the "slide to turn off" message.

I don't know what is going on with my computer
I have no words to explain what is going on with my computer. Its very hard to explain so here is a screenshot of the problem
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.
